Eudorea Portlandica, Dale, is referred by Guenée to this species —
in his ‘ Pyralites, and with a query to 8. pheoleucalis in
Doubleday’s ‘ Synonymic List.’ The three specimens named |
“' Portlandica” in the British Museum appear to belong to —
two or three different species; one of them seems to be
a variety of S. mereurialis, and another a variety of S. cra-—

PREEACH.
THE object of. the present Catalogue is to give a com-
: plete list of all the genera and species of Geometrites known
to exist in the different collections. The letters a, 0, c,
&c., after the species, denote the specimens now contained
in the British Museum, followed by the habitat and the mode
in which each of them was obtained, and the absence of ©
, these letters indicates the species which are desiderata, and
therefore desirable to be procured for the collection.

walking; three first pairs of membranous legs almost always
wanting, and in all cases shorter than the others. Pupa smooth;
abdominal segments free. .
In Guenée’s ‘ Histoire Naturelle des Insectes Lépidoptéres ’
the Geometrites are preceded by Urania and Coronis and their
allies, which have been described in the first series of this Catalogue.
The genus Hazis, of which he forms the family Hazide and

The three following species, of which the two latter may be
varieties of U. Politia, differ much from the typical form of Urap-
teryx, and may form a new genus between it and Cherodes.
U. Politia varies in the markings of the wings and in the caudal
angle of the hind wings, and some of the specimens here recorded
have less likeness to the typical specific form than to U. complicata.

linea costam versus e punctis elongatis albis, margine eateriore

Male. Very pale ochraceous, mostly whitish beneath. Head
brownish, whitish above. Palpi with blackish tips. Legs minutely
black-speckled ; anterior knees black; hind tibia much thickened.
Wings with a few indistinct little transverse ochraceous streaks, and
with a few minute black speckles; the latter more prevalent on the
under side ; the line straight, oblique, whitish, bordered with ochra-
ceous on its inner side ; discal] interior black point distinct ; a blackish
exterior diffuse zigzag line, which is almost obsolete on the fore —
wings. Fore wings subfalcate; the line towards the costa indicated
only by elongated white points on the veins ; exterior border very
slightly bent, hardly angular. Hind wings with a very distinct
angle, but not caudate. Length of the body 8 lines; of the wings
19 lines.
This species, like C. incurvata, may be distinguished from the
other three preceding species by the exterior border of the fore
wings; it also agrees with C. incurvata in having no traces of the
inner line, which is very distinct in C. transposita, slight in C.
transversatu, and almost or quite obsolete in C. transmutans. The
more prominent angle of the hind wings and the colour of the line
sufficiently separate it from C. incurvata.

Female. Reddish ochraceous, slightly and minutely speckled
with black. Head whitish above. Wings hardly purplish-tinged,
with a straight oblique cinereous line, whichis borderéd with brown
on both sides ; a black interior discal point. Fore wings acute, fal-
cate; the line with white points on its fore part, ceasing on ap-
proaching the costa ; exterior border very slightly angular. Hind
wings with the exterior border distinctly angular ind slightly cau-
date ; interior border fringed with white hairs. Length of the body
7—8 lines ; of the wings 20—22 lines.
Whether this is a distinct species, or whether it and C. trans-
posita, and some of the following species are mere varieties of
C. transversata is a question yet to be decided. The line and the
black points of the wings distinguish it from C. transversata, and in
both these characters it resembles C. incurvata, from which it dif-
fers by the angular exterior border of the fore wings, and by the
more decided angle of the hind wings.

Var. Male. Fawn-colour, paler, cinereous-tinged and black-
speckled beneath. Head whitish between the antenne. Wings
with a slight pale purplish tinge; line almost straight, of a rather
darker fawn-colour than the ground hue, bordered with pale pur-
plish on the outer side; black discal point very minute. Fore
wings falcate ; costa convex ; exterior border forming an extremely
obtuse angle in the middle; line obsolete near the costa. Hind
wings with an acute angle in the middle, but not caudate. Length
of the body 7 lines ; of the wings 22 lines. |
Var. Very little larger and more ochraceous. Wings with a
larger discal point. Fore wings with white points on the fore part
of the line. : :
The two specimens here described differ slightly in aspect and —
markings from the typical form of C. transmutans, and are probably
local varieties of that species, but their native place is unknown.

This species and the. preceding one are closely allied to
D. Pappiaria, from which they may be distinguished by their more
falcate wings. They are more nearly related to each other, but in
D. Pionaria the tips of the fore wings are more obtuse and the
exterior border is more convex.

The male of this species varies in hue from luteous-yellow, with
transverse speckles and with an exterior reddish band, to ochraceous
or fawn-colour, or reddish with one or two dull cinereous-red bands.
The under side is always bright luteous, with an exterior band in’
both sexes. The female is luteous-yellow or testaceous, and the fore
wings have three parallel lines, two of which are continued on the hind
wings; the latter have a black spot in front beyond the third line;
this spot is less distinct in the male.

costa. Length of the body 3% lines ; of the wings 9% lines.
This species differs much from the typical form in the structure
of the hind tibiw, but can hardly be considered as belonging to a
distinct genus.

PREFACE.
)
THE object a the present Catalogue is to give a com-
plete list of all the genera and species of Geometrites known
to exist in the different collections. The letters a, 0, €,
&e., after the species, denote the specimens now contained
in the British Museum, followed by the habitat and the mode
in which each of them was obtained, and the absence of
these letters indicates the species which are desiderata, and
therefore desirable to be procured for the collection.

“The European species will form three groups. In the first
group, which is the type of the genus, the antenne have fascicu-
lated ciliz, the abdomen has a pale basal band, the wings are
ample and have distinct rounded teeth and no discal mark. In the
second group the antenne are pubescent; the hind tibie are in-
crassated, and the wings are nearly entire. In the third group the
size is small, the antenna have short and frizzled ciliz, and
the wings are ‘nearly entire.

peculiar to Australia, the branches. of the antenne of the male
are thickly ciliated, the hind tibiz are not incrassated, the wings
are oblong, and the exterior line of the fore wings forms abrupt
angles. Tn this group 7’. excursaria and the two following species
are included, and the next four species. may be associated with
it, though they do not quite agree with the characters by which it is
distinguished. * The third group is also Australian ; the antenne
are very variable in structure, and the wings have acute triangular
teeth. The fourth, fifth and sixth groups are less characteristic of
the genus.

speckles are numerous and the lines are dilated; the latter are |
brown, dentate, partly obsolete, and the exterior line is double in the |
hind wings and towards the costa of the fore wings, where it limits |
an apical brown patch, in which the cinereous submarginal line may |
be traced ; this patch forms part of the marginal band which ap- |
pears at intervals elsewhere, and is more complete on the under
side, where there are no speckles. Length of the body 8 lines; of |
the wings 20 lines.
